Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1289: Chapter 1288: Robots

Just like that, the two quickly entered the game. Jiang Cheng glanced at it, and it seemed to have a setting for escape, plus there was a need to guard against attacks from wild animals. The cave ahead looked foggy, and it was unclear if they could get out.

...

Jiang Cheng operated his character, and as Xiao Bai had mentioned, it required skill.

Jiang Cheng wasn’t panicking, and there was an advantage to that; he didn’t have to worry about anyone next to him intentionally sabotaging him. Jiang Cheng gradually seemed to grasp the rules of the game. It really wasn’t difficult.

Xiao Bai watched as Jiang Cheng became completely familiar with the game in less than five minutes, and he seemed to be somewhat impressive. Xiao Bai was genuinely in awe of Jiang Cheng. This was too incredible.

Meanwhile, Captain Li was doing well, appearing to be an expert in the game. Xiao Bai, however, was a bit worried for Jiang Cheng’s situation. But Jiang Cheng indeed looked very relaxed. In fact, Jiang Cheng was quite at ease because of work, he hadn’t played games in a long time. This was indeed a good chance to play, and Jiang Cheng felt a bit excited, happily battling monsters in the cave without worrying about leaving.

People nearby were amazed; this guy was truly in his element, genuinely playing the game. Captain Li was already sweating, likely due to the pressure, leading to several wrong moves.

If this continues, he’ll be even more flustered. Captain Li watched Jiang Cheng next to him, who operated smoothly, in no way resembling someone who’s never played before. The more Captain Li watched, the greater the pressure he felt, and his operations became increasingly chaotic. But Jiang Cheng seemed almost ready to leave.

Jiang Cheng didn’t pay attention; he hadn’t really played much, yet was almost out of the cave. This game is quite fun. As Jiang Cheng thought this, he relaxed even more. Within a few minutes, Jiang Cheng had completed it.

Those nearby saw how quickly Jiang Cheng finished and expressed their admiration, ”Amazing, truly a professional player.” ”What? He hadn’t even played before.” ”Oh my, a genius indeed.”

When Captain Li saw Jiang Cheng had completed the game, he was completely devastated, jumping out of his chair in anger. ”Didn’t you say you couldn’t play?”

”I really can’t.” Jiang Cheng replied, looking innocent.

”How is that possible? You must have played before.” Captain Li said, not believing him, his expression making Jiang Cheng seem utterly guilty.

”Fine, regardless, I won. Now you have no objections, right?” Jiang Cheng said calmly, not wanting to deal with the madman anymore. Captain Li still tried to provoke him, but those nearby couldn’t hold back. ”What a shameless person.” ”Right, earlier he wanted to take someone else’s place, and now he says he wants to compete in gaming, yet he loses to someone who hasn’t played.” ”Exactly, if it were me, I wouldn’t have the face to stand here.”

Captain Li’s face turned alternating shades of blue and white, looking truly awful. ”Examiner, I did it,” he said to the examiner, who didn’t want to say anything else, watching Captain Li impatiently.

”Uncle, you can’t just ignore me. You said you’d definitely help me.” Captain Li was on the verge of tears.

”Enough! Get lost.” The examiner interrupted Captain Li angrily and embarrassed.

At this time, as Jiang Cheng stood nearby, he heard everything they said and pretty much understood.

Captain Li glared bitterly at Jiang Cheng, who stood calmly aside, paying no attention to him. Seeing no hope, and with people mocking him, Captain Li slunk away defeated.

”Alright, it’s over, disperse.” Another examiner spoke up, addressing the first examiner, ”You’ll face consequences sooner or later, consider this a warning.” With that, he left.

The examiner looked at Jiang Cheng, ”You are quite impressive.” Then he too left.

”Brother Zai, these people really bully others.” Xiao Bai said angrily.

”No worries, thank you though.” Jiang Cheng replied with a smile.

”Oh, no need.” Xiao Bai said, smiling shyly.

He looked around, realizing only he and Xiao Bai were left. When did Qingqing leave? This atmosphere is really interesting, despite coming in together, you should coordinate together. It seems Qing Qing completely didn’t want to associate with them.

”Brother Zai, where are you heading now?” Xiao Bai asked.

The topic given, Jiang Cheng hesitated, he didn’t know where to go. Judging from the outside, it seemed hard to tell; in reality, he had been stalled for quite a while, which meant he actually had a branch.

Jiang Cheng was surprised by how strange this virtual world was. Though it wasn’t the real world, it was not a conventional setting. He also felt it was odd how familiar it was, what was going on here.

”Brother Zai, come live with me.” Xiao Bai asked Jiang Cheng, sounding interested.

”Sure, living alone is boring. Let’s eat first, and then head to my place, okay?” Xiao Bai said eagerly.

Jiang Cheng, seeing Xiao Bai’s enthusiasm, felt a bit embarrassed to refuse.

”Let’s go.” Lin Zai said.

”Great.” Xiao Bai smiled brightly. Jiang Cheng felt this place actually resembled Zhao Shuai. If the world would allow it, Jiang Zai could meet him in real life. Xiao Bai led Jiang Cheng down a quaint street, eyeing a small restaurant without much decoration. ”Brother Zai, trust me, their fruit is really tasty.” Xiao Bai looked at Jiang Cheng eagerly.

He replied agreeably and went ahead with Xiao Bai.

Walking into the restaurant, Jiang Cheng noticed the various shop assistants were robots. The place wasn’t large but very clean, with neat decoration.

Xiao Bai clearly was a regular. Leading Jiang to a favored spot, he sat and ordered a few items.

One robot, resembling a vacuum cleaner, approached Jiang Cheng’s vicinity, and he saw it extend its claws like a human, presenting an electronic menu.

Xiao Bai adeptly ordered and handed the menu to the robot. Jiang Cheng noticed these robots’ voices weren’t mechanical at all, they even sounded somewhat warm.

”Brother Zai, how do you feel?” Xiao Bai asked.

”Feel about what?” Jiang Cheng was puzzled.

”It just seems like you’re unfamiliar with everything here, as if you never lived here before.” Xiao Bai remarked.

Jiang Cheng stared blankly for a few seconds, thinking, he had hidden well, but Xiao Bai could see right through him. Jiang Cheng found himself somewhat speechless.

”Ha ha, Brother Zai, I was just teasing, why take it so seriously.” Xiao Bai said, laughing.

Jiang Cheng chuckled. Soon, the dishes arrived. Jiang Cheng surveyed the colorful array, enticing him. Plus, he felt quite hungry indeed.

Jiang Cheng didn’t stand on ceremony and ate heartily. As Xiao Bai mentioned, the food was indeed delicious, akin to home cooking, resembling what his mother used to make. Jiang Cheng felt it had been a long time since he ate something like this; it was truly great. ”Jiang Cheng said after finishing.”

”Right? Ha ha. My parents often aren’t home, so I eat here. Despite their appearances, these robots feel like family.” Xiao Bai said with a smile, but Jiang Cheng detected a sense of sadness.
